4000 series Nvidia card owners will be delighted to know that DLSS 3 support is coming to Warzone this week with the launch of Season 1, with Path Tracing and DLSS 3.5 available in lobbies for both Warzone and Modern Warfare 3.
This news comes as part of the Nvidia RTX Games celebration, where the company announced that there are 500 games and apps that now support DLSS, Ray Tracing & AI-Enhanced Technologies.
But buried in the celebration post is news that DLSS 3 support (already included in Modern Warfare 3) is finally coming to Warzone. This feature will fully be available for 4000 series Nvidia cards once Season 1 starts.
“For GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers, Season 1 sees the debut of NVIDIA DLSS 3 in Call of Duty: Warzone, multiplying performance. GeForce RTX 20 Series and 30 Series gamers can boost performance with DLSS Super Resolution.
And if performance is high enough already in your opinion, you can instead enable NVIDIA DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that utilizes the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, rather than boosting performance, for an even richer, more detailed experience.
Additionally, all GeForce gamers, dating back to users of the GeForce GTX 900 Series, can activate NVIDIA Reflex.
NVIDIA Reflex is synonymous with responsive gaming, and can be found in the latest and greatest games. Reflex reduces system latency so your actions occur quicker, potentially giving you a competitive edge in multiplayer matches, and making single-player titles more responsive and enjoyable. NVIDIA Reflex is now used by over 50 million players each month, is available in 9 of the top 10 competitive shooters, and is activated by 90% of GeForce gamers in over 90 supported titles.”
This isn’t the only surprise either, as full ray tracing and even DLSS 3.5 are coming too, though they’re restricted to the game’s menu at this time.
“Full ray tracing, otherwise known as path tracing, is a demanding but highly accurate way to render light and its effect on a scene. Reflections, shadows, ambient occlusion, and more are all amped up, letting your Call of Duty content shine with incredible detail and realism. Inspect your Gunsmith weapons with enhanced detail, see your characters with pixel-perfect lighting and shadowing, head to the Firing Range to test your beautifully rendered loadouts, and marvel at immersive pre-game moments with you and your assembled squad.”
It’s but a step, and we expect full Path Tracing and DLSS 3.5 support to eventually arrive in all modes of Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 (as well as the new Black Ops) later next year.
